ORBX OpenLC NA (Part 2) release imminent

[pmb 5,137]

I thought they moved to Amazon Cloud distribution servers?

They will, sometime laters this year.

 

Kind regards, Michael

Looks like openLC North America broke the FlightSimStore.  I understand why ORBX is moving their sales/distribution platform now.  Pretty sad when a distributor can't handle the sales load, especially during the first 24 hrs.

Orbx and FSS is down - going to be a long time before we get this - got it paid for but thats it - might take longer to download it than it took to make it  :mad:

Yearh, me too... paid for it - but can't connect to the site now (FSS seems down).

Got part 1 and 2 - but missing part 3 and 4... oh, well - guess we'll have to wait 

[Flic1 977]

Gave up as well, it was showing 3 days to download part 1.....will wait until later in the week......

[anden145 2,285]

Well, I got through... Set Internet Download Manager to just keep trying to download the missing parts - and suddenly it began... i'm getting around 1MB/s for each ...

Some files still creeping thru, don't give up! I'm up to part three and maintaining a scorching 210kb/S!

I got it installed "successfully" but there seems to have been an error with the installer not actually adding the scenery to the scenery library. It shows up in FTX Central but no where else.

LOL! This should not come as a surprise to anyone!! The next time one of these Brain Surgeons trys to tell you that there is just no market for Flight Sim products then remember this day. Oh they will cry and scream about how few of us there are and how hard it is to make a living Ad Nauseam. How about this one, you are just a customer. You don't need that (fill in the blank). Well ORBX found enough customers to blow up several websites this morning.

I think we all expected download speeds to be slower than usual, but the reality is much worse.

 

Not only are all 6 of the servers either inaccessible or at best extremely slow, but now the Flightsimstore website is almost inaccessible.

 

I was able to access the Flightsimstore website once in the past couple hours, but then I can't even log in to my account let alone download anything that I already paid for.

 

This is really pathetic.

 

ORBX needs to get their act together and find another vendor.

Anyone else havng problems downloading this? I cannot seem to be able to connect to any of the FSS servers, although a test download just now of some Avsim freeware worked without any problem. I wonder if the servers are overloaded?

OK LOL clearly I am not alone! Not too surprising really! I guess it is just massive demand for huge downloads - might just leave it a couple of days and try again then.

theyre just being swamped.  not sure if any of the vendors in our little world would be able to handle 75% of the active flightsimmers of the world breaking down the door all at once.  ORBX is going to their own distro platform, (already announced) but I'll be shocked if it's any better on big release days.

Looking forward to screenshots in SW USA and other locations. Been kinda waiting for feedback and I only have global at the moment. Thx :-)

   Orbx have tens of thousands of users. And every single one of us is trying to download that 10 Gb file at the same time. There isn't a server in the universe that can handle that much bandwidth. I think we can all afford to give the FSS and Orbx a little bit of leeway here.

 

Jazz

No, I am not an Orbx automaton.

That is simply not true; in fact, thousands of servers all over the world handle far more data, from a much  larger customer base than you described.  It's painfully obvious that FSS is willfully unprepared to handle a customer base as large as Orbx, which explains why they're migrating from their sales platform....
